Program execution mode 14
Cod. 523340
Rev. 10/1016
4.3. Stop modes
4.3.1. End of cycle
The acoustic warning and the End report on the display inform the user that the program has finished and that
the door lock is released.
4.3.2. Interrupting a program
A. Key. This key interrupts a washing program. STOP appears on the display. Once the safety delay
has finished, the acoustic warning and the End report on the display inform the user that the program has
finished and that the door lock is released.
B. Emergency stop
(Except on models with a load of less than 13 kg / 30 lb)
Pressing the EMERGENCY switch once interrupts the washer operation and opens the drain valve. The
corresponding alarm report appears on the display.
After a delay of approximately 3 minutes, the door is released.
To resume the wash cycle, release the switch and press the key ONCE.
To cancel the wash cycle, release the switch and press the key TWICE.
C. Other stopping methods include:
Disconnecting the ON/OFF switch
Disconnecting the SWITCH DISCONNECTOR
Disconnecting the EXTERNAL AUTOMATIC SWITCH
We do not recommend these stop methods, except in an emergency. In these cases, as long as the door
remains closed, the machine will understand that there has been a power failure. When the power is switched
back on, the machine will resume the program in progress.
When a washing program is interrupted by electrical power failure, disconnecting the switches
described in this section, or activating the Emergency Stop, the door lock mechanism stops being
controlled by the microprocessor and the opening of the door is thermally delayed. In these circumstances, it
is normal to have a washer delay or inactive time of about 3 minutes.
Never disconnect these switches to rescue a person trapped inside the washing machine. See
information with regard to this in Chapter 9.
D. Interruption of the power supply. The operation of the washing machine is interrupted: the drain valve
opens and after a delay of approximately 3 minutes, the door is released.
If the door remains closed when the power supply is re-established, the wash cycle is resumed.
If the door is open, the wash cycle is cancelled.
